Today I managed to do everything, except write, which is next.
I'm not always writing what I *want* to be, right now (my novel is fighting, I think because I'm boring it) but at least getting to do something. Okay, not always writing what I THINK I should be. Not the same, eh?
I'm not doing good posting about my second round with The Artist's Way, because I already *talked* about that here, and I am stupidly averse to repeating myself. But I am at least rereading and refocusing with it, and feeling better all the time.
I put lemon oil on my temples for an essential oils video, and was reading the bit where she talks about artists needing to withdraw, and I said, "Feh with this, I'm going to go spin some TOP yarn" and put on my earphones and zoned out so hard I took them off later feeling like I'd napped or cried, rather than just sat and done fiber work.
I also read this poem/story today, and thought it was incredible:
Spark by Steve Taose, in Jabberwocky Magazine.
...I also, on my to-do list, got to read a great story by Ken Liu he's entering into a contest on the Codex Forum, which I can critique as a non-combatant participant. :gloat: It'll probably be MONTHS or even next year before you can read it. But I will take pity and let you know about it when that happens.
I am having growing-pains with this TOP yarn, not sure of myself because I'm not happy with the motley look of my past several, and am trying to find a way to make it look dynamic, and am holding myself to a certain standard.
But.
I think I'm going to figure it out.
